: I agree with that statement but most people seem to put the seat
: all the way back against the coaming where it probably shouldn't
: be to start with, look at the plans.

I agree with that statement :-).
However, CG can change by the way the kayak is loaded, so I attach my seat to the kayak by velcro strips, and move my seat to balance the kayak when loaded before I take off.
After a while you get the feel for how much just by the way she lies in the water.
So here's a plug for movable seats.
